Get off Tony Romo's back — Cowboys already have

"He's not injured."

That was Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' status report on Tony Romo, who gave the team a scare when he had to leave Thursday's exhibition in Seattle after only three plays. After scrambling and sliding in vain to try to avoid a sack by the Seahawks' Cliff Avril, Romo landed awkwardly and twisted his lower back.

There he was, on the ground, causing everyone who cares so much about the Cowboys to will their quarterback up and hope another season in Dallas wouldn't be lost before it began.

So how he could not be hurt, when he looked like he was in so much pain?
